Here we are! Starting off this year's horror genre with a bang... But it's not actually a horror and is it actually that much of a bang? It's getting so much hype and we are asking ourselves if it's earned it. But regardless of what we think about the movie it's showing us that 2023 is looking to be a good year for movie theaters. If we continue to see this type of turnout at m...

Babylon... OH BOY. This movie really does look to be the end of an era. And that statement is in no way a judgment of the movie itself. We say that independent of the quality of the movie. What this movie and its turnout have shown us is that the industry has changed before and it is changing again. Fewer people are going out to theaters. Most of the box office profits are made from movies like Av...

James Gunn and many other higher-ups in the DC/Warner Brothers world seem to be ready to clean the slate with DC in order to start all over again.

Violent Night is an action-packed Christmas movie that's easy to watch and has left audiences wanting more...... LOOK, it's simple... It's that time of the year again. It's duh Christmas movie time yuh know? And I think we got off pretty well with this movie. There were some actual laughs and really well-done action, and I know it's weird to hear this about a Christmas movie......

We all have our pick for the best war movie. Maybe it's the quintessential Saving Private Ryan. Maybe it's something last decade like Fury. Perhaps brand new like It's All Quiet On The Western Front. Or it could be a favorite amongst soldiers like Jar Head. No matter what it is, from Top Gun to Red Tails, everyone loves a good war/military movie. It gives us the best of everything, bro...

For the most part, murder mystery movies have taken a back seat to movie history. And as present-day approached, the genre continued to be seen less frequently. But, with movies like Knives Out and its sequel Glass Onion, can we expect to see more murder mysteries? Can we expect to see fun murder mysteries? Is the Knives Out franchise the pioneer for modern murder mysteries? Or have the Knives Out...

A movie. That's it... But really, what were we expecting? Although this movie may have a deeper meaning that would be worth a re-watch, watching it once was already a tough sell. Clearly, this isn't for the casual movie-goer. But are there enough well-studied and interested moviegoers that are going out to see this movie? People who are really gonna sit there and pick apart the acting, the...

This is DC's chance to create a universe as exciting and successful as the MCU. For over a decade DC has been struggling to put together a strong cinematic universe. It's almost like they're cursed. Every time they try to kickstart something things fall through. They rush projects, directors leave projects, they can't seem to find their own personal tone, they are playing catch-up,...

Halloween ends is the end of the world's most well-known slasher? Look, no matter how you CUT it... get it? ... Horror movies will always be divisive. For one they make normal people really uncomfortable and for two they are severely scrutinized by serious horror fans.

Was this movie disrespectful to Marylin Monroe? Or is this just the ugly truth? Regardless of the poor reviews, there is always something good to find in movies, and bio-pics are usually always filled with artistic choices and they always lean heavily into a style that's inspired by the people the movies are based on. But was there enough character within Monroe's life to build art on the...

BUT, is this movie more than just some marketing trick? Is i...
